Pros:

The hotel was good, the room was great, the bar was very posh, the staff very friendly

Cons:

From early morning the noise from the room upstairs woke us up, people dragging the furniture, drilling the walls, banging sounds were not acceptable. We expected quiet and nice morning not repairing sounds

Overall good apart from the stairs issue
Pros:

Breakfast was excellent and staff very welcoming. Location is perfect for my requirements.

Cons:

Room 14 was more than adequate. Very well appointed but the access up to some steep stairs was not so good so would not recommend rooms 14 to 16
